Goldie, who received his name due to his trademark gold tooth, was one of the Nigeriandrug smugglers working with Eko and Olu. Goldie unknowingly played a small but important role that would affect the castaways on the Island. When the smugglers were being besieged by the Nigerian military, Goldie forced Yemi into the Beechcraft and pushed Eko out of the plane, which ironically saved his life. ("The 23rd Psalm")
